Evaluating the Reliability of Non-Specialist Observers in the Behavioural Assessment of Semi-Captive Asian Elephant Welfare
Océane Liehrmann; Jonathan L. Webb; Htoo Htoo Aung; Martin W. Seltmann; Nicola Hemmings; Jennie A. H. Crawley; Win Htut; Virpi Lummaa; U Kyaw Nyein; Mirkka Lahdenperä<p>Recognising stress is an important component in maintaining the welfare of captive animal populations, and behavioural observation provides a rapid and non-invasive method to do this. Despite substantial testing in zoo ... -
Faecal Glucocorticoid Metabolites and H/L Ratio are Related Markers of Stress in Semi-Captive Asian Timber Elephants
Win Htut; Sophie Reichert; Martin W. Seltmann; Diogo Dos Santos; U Kyaw Nyein; Susanna Ukonaho; Virpi Lummaa<p>Animals are kept in captivity for various reasons, but species with a slower pace of life<br />may adapt to captive environments less easily, leading to welfare concerns and the need to assess<br />stress reliably in ... -
Seasonal variation of health in Asian elephants
Htoo Htoo Aung; Vérane Berger; Virpi Lummaa; Sophie Reichert; Win Htut; Robin Cristofari; U Kyaw Nyein; Diogo J. Franco dos SantosLong-lived species are often predicted to be buffered against seasonal variation: longevity means low annual mortality and reproductive rates and annual variability in climate may therefore have a smaller impact on ...
